I picked up this 1961 Kodiak the other day at an auction. The bow looked dull and dirty when I got it. Well under all that grime was the cleanest all original'61 Kodiak I have ever seen. No holes and no stress cracks at all and that alone is a rarity for a '61. Bow is 60" 50# and I would say a 9.5 in anyone's book! Who wold think you could still find them in this condition. That is what I enjoy about fleamarkets and auctions, you just never know what is around the next corner. Shame It's not a left hand or I would be keeping It for sure.
